NBA Draft 2011: Chicago Bulls Plan to Keep Nikola Mirotic with Real Madrid
The Chicago Bulls were one of the many teams that confused me a little bit on draft night. I thought they would use at least one of their draft picks to add a shooting guard. Who knows if that player would've filled their void at shooting, but I still thought it was worth a shot.
Instead, the Bulls took two small forwards (Nikola Mirotic and Jimmy Butler), one of whom won't play in the NBA for at least two or three years.
Mirotic is on a pretty big 5-year contract with Spanish club Real Madrid and according to the Chicago Tribune, he'll play at least two or three years over there before we see him in the NBA.
It's tough to predict how this situation will pan out, as most who follow this route come back to be little more than bench warmers. Most really good players are ready to contribute right away.
